Where Do Pets Come From
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis
has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden,
you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you
any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult
for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion
for you that will be with you and who will be a
reflection of my love for you, so that you will
love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of
how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be,
this new companion will accept you as you are and
will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and
Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the
animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name
for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem. Because I have created
this new animal to be a reflection of my love for
you, his name will be a reflection of my own name,
and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion
to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to
the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become
filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks
and they believe they are worthy of adoration.
Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved,
but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a
companion who will be with them and who will see
them as they are. The companion will remind them
of their limitations, so they will know that they
are not always worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them.
And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes,
they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a crap one way or the other.
